ABSTRACT

 

The article discusses the integration of different types of interfaces with FPGA circuits using a reconfigurable communication platform. The solution has been implemented in practice in a single node of a distributed measurement system. Construction of communication platform has been presented with its selected hardware modules, described in VHDL and implemented in FPGA circuits. The graphical user interface (GUI) has been described that allows a user to control the operation of the system. In the final part of the article selected practical solutions have been introduced. The whole measurement system resides on multi-gigabit optical network. The optical network construction is highly modular, reconfigurable and scalable.
 
Keywords: Distributed measurement systems, VHDL, FPGA, WinApi, electronics and photonics systems architecture, software – hardware interaction and integration, optical networks with fast electronic nodes, scalable and reconfigurable photonic networks.
